rne Tasod Danger.

The rain that commenced here
Satin Iday afternoon continued to fall
1t intervals with more or less violence
mp 70 last evening, when it turned
into . storm OF tremendous fury. The
rain came down in sheets, and thnn-
der and lightning added wildness to
tie elemental war. Alarms from the
whistle Of the electric works gave
notice to the city that the river was
rising and that there was danger of a
food. The unprotected inhabitants
of the lower level, where the foaming
river might At any moment break
from its course and sweep their
homes away, made hasty preparations

families moved quickly up into the

very serious. We can now realize
the criminal folly OF the delays in con-
1aructing the levee planned to protect
the exposed portion of the city from
overflow. The people most directly
interested would themselves, by this
tine, have had q suffic ent embank-
ment finished to secure them
from danger. But the L. A. &
8. n. Railroad Company offered
to build the levee, if the
Hunicipality would cede to it some
sixty acres of available land at the
lower end of the city and money

done, but the company never fulfilled
its agreement. Several months ago
money was raised by the people for
The purpose of constructing levee
from the old Also bridge to First
street, the weak line OF the river, and
piles and other materials were brought
here by them for that purpose. The
railroad company, however, having
stepped in and agreed to do the
work, the people took no further
action in the matter. 1t is now in
order to inquire why the company
has not carried out its agreement?
Had it done SO, the danger now SO
seriously apprehended would have
been averted; or if it had not offered
to carry out the work, the people
themselves would have had a levee
built by this time. II harm come to

this time. We have no right to trifle

and let tie rain-months come
upon US before beginning the
work. There has been no lack of
opportunity to secure the protection
% much needed. We have had
plenty of fine weather to favor the
prosecution OF the work. The
trouble has been altogether with the
parties who have failed to carry out
their agreement, and with the au-
thorities who have failed to make
them carry it out. Let us have no
more OF this shameful trifling. If
we escape serious flood this time,
let those who have the power to
compel the company to do this work

THERE is food for thought in the
following from the Durham DAILY
Nc7os. Itsays: The Greensboro N0,1h
State says that the State papers, while
rejoicing over the prosperity Of our
towns, should not fail to give thought
to the farmers who are in state of
depression. Few are the farmers
throughout North Carolina who are
forgotten by our commercial centres;
ties, mortgage ties stronger than
friendships chain, bind them together;
and if some great change does not soon
take place, farming will in this country
be a thing of the past. The influx
from country to town is by far greater
now than ever before, and farms once
in prosperous condition are now en-
braced in Shylock's arms and lie dor
mant for want of nutriment. We VEN
ture the assertion that a radius of TWEEN
ty miles around each manufacturing
town in the State, fifty farms cannot
be found unincumbered, and worse
than this, no way is yet devised to lift
the heavy burden of debt. Unless the
farmers, who from year to year depend
entirely on their single crop-tobacco
or cotton awake to the realization of
their true condition, the inevitable
result of their thoughtlessness and neg
lect will be, suffering. The thorough
cultivation OF small acreage, the adop-
ton of something more lasting to the
life Of the land than fertilizers and the
diversiflcation of crops are essentials
necessary for the future success of our
farmers.

WANTED-A FIRST-CLASS HO
TEL. FOR HENDERSON.

Henderson wants frst-class hotel
and when we say frst-class, we
mean one built in modern style, large,
commodlous and we'll equipped, and
kept on plan commensurate with its
pretentlohs and appointments. Moth
ing perhaps would add more to the
place or be more conducive to its
growth and increased prosperity than
a magnificent hotel in Henderson.
Suppose we had such a house here
as the Davis Hotel at kittrell, what
would it not be worth to the town and
community? With such an institu-
ton this might be made a popular re-
sort for both winter and summer Wis
itorS. Our mild and healthy climate,
pure water, churches, society, all are
in our favor; and the one thing vet
lacking is suitable accommodation in
the way of hotel advantages.
n number of small hotels, although
well kept, is not sufficient The de-
sideratune is fine large one, which
would prove a drawing card to the
town and immediate vicinity, by fur
nlshlng every comfort, every conve-
nience and every luxury to be found
in the most elegant and sumptuous
homes in any part of the country. The
people, as class, who come this way
to spend the winters are exceedingly
tastldious, and consequently are salts
fed with nothing but the best accom-
modations,
There is no question about the fact
that first class hotels are of the great
est benefit to every place in which
they are located. Such an investment
of capital, would, of course, increase
the value of property by increasing
the demand for it, like almost every
thing depending, in large measure, en-
IN increased demand for an increased
,alue. /!

The Greensboro Southern Z06ac-

paragraph in the GOLD LEAF headed
Town Pride is kind enough to say this:
The GOLD LEAF is doing all that is
in its power towards the upbuilding OF
Henderson, and its work is telling, too.
The town is coming along with the
"fastest" towns IN the State, and as a
tobacco market, she is hard to beat

per, and may Bro. Manning and the
